Steven sat nervously on the edge of the examination table. He mused that time must crawl to a halt inside a doctor's office. It seemed that he had been sitting there for hours waiting to hear the bad news, when in fact he knew it must have only been five, ten minutes tops.
He had researched his symptoms endlessly: Loss of appetite, sleeplessness, headaches, and a general malaise that trailed him everywhere like an unwanted stray. It would be only moments before the doctor would confirm what he already knew: he had cancer... probably leukemia.
By preparing himself ahead of time, he figured he could skip the first four stages and go right to the last one: acceptance. He already planned out he would break the news to his friends and family. He would urge them not to cry for him and that he lived a full, albeit, shortened existence and they would just have to carry on without him the best they could. He would undoubtedly have to give up the partnership track at his accounting firm that he toiled over for the last few years so he could enjoy the few, remaining months he would have left. Probably his fiancee would be the hardest hit; he would break off the engagement knowing it was in her best interest not marry a man who had no future.
A cold breeze washed over him when the door to the examination room flew open. The doctor appeared, an elder man in his early seventies, chart in hand.
"Hey Steven. Well I've got your blood results here. Cholesterol...good, triglycerides...good, red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, enzymes...all normal."
"In other words, you're healthy as a horse"
Steven shook his head in disbelief. "You mean I don't have cancer?"
"Cancer? What? No, of course not!"
"Nope, your going to live a long, healthy time on this planet. "
Before the doctor turned away, he added with a smile...
"I'm afraid it's a life sentence for you!"
Today was the first time ever I discussed verbs, nouns, and adjectives with the children. They got it in about two seconds flat. In Phoenix's case, he'd self-educated about it a bit, but as far as I know today was Halle's first time.
Five members of United Cafeteria and Restaurant Workers union Local 471 are sentenced to six months in jail for clashes on the picket line during their 78-day strike in 1948.
The April 18, 1948 Washington Post article reports on the sentences that were given after the strike was settled.
As the article reports, the harsh sentences were designed to send a message to Local 471 and other unions.

Over the coming months, thousands of gleaming letters of the alphabet will be constructed, imaginatively designed and equipped with LEDs and receivers. And all these constructors are invited to bring their letters to Linz’s riverside Donaupark on the evening of September 1, when these works of art will get connected up to the voestalpine Klangwolke and become part of a gigantic spectacle. After all: it’s the interplay with thousands of other letters that enables each individual character to unfold its full potential—to become components of words, and, in turn, sentences in which information morphs into communication.

The Barnwell Sentence, Riverside, Cambridge, 31 Mar 2015
When I first saw this I though it was clever street art.
When I saw it close up I realised somebody had been spending lots of money!
'The Barnwell Sentence' mural in Kingsley Walk was created in late 2014 by Lucy Skaer, and is on marble tiles.
The web site says that the artwork takes the form of a 100m ‘sentence', winding its way through the Cambridge Riverside development. It is made up of imprints that tell a story of this site and its proximity. The sculptures and pictograms include Carp fish, strawberries, and school blazers, the largest being a life-sized blue whale skeleton, marking the entrance to the site from Newmarket Road.
I don't speak Barnwell, so don't really understand the meaning of the blue whale. But it does have an exclamation mark!
The moment a man hears his sentence from a judge. His freedom ends in an instant; for the first time in his life his self-determination is taken from him. Life as he has known it ends and a future in which his every move is controlled begins,
In Boston, about 45 demonstrators, including a dozen speakers, out for Pvt. Manning on the day of her sentencing. A number of speakers took up the PVT Manning Support Network's call to urge people to sign the petition at pardon.privatemanning.org that calls on President Obama to issue a pardon. Other speakers expressed the view that this approach will be ineffective and that other approaches need to be considered. Everyone who spoke agreed that the 35 year sentence for acts of whistle-blowing is excessive. A number of folks discussed the issues with onlookers and passers-by.

Je suis allé en 2009 à la tristement célèbre prison S-21 à Phnom Penh, Cambodge. C'était extrêmement triste. Selon moi, la sentence aurait dû être "Prison à vie" pour ce monstre.
I have visited in 2009 the sadly famous prison S-21 in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. It was extremely sad. In my opinion, the sentence should have been "Life imprisonment" for this monster.
Tuol Sleng - Le musée de Tuol Sleng est un ancien lycée (Tuol Svay Prey : la colline du manguier sauvage) situé à Phnom Penh, la capitale du Cambodge, qui a été transformé par les Khmers rouges en centre de détention, de torture et d'exécution entre 1975 et 1979. Le lycée avait alors comme nom secret prison de Sécurité 21 ou S-21. Sur les 17 000 à 20 000 prisonniers de Tuol Sleng, personne ne s'est échappé. À la libération du camp, il y avait sept survivants. De 1975 à 1979, quelques 17.000 personnes ont été incarcérées à Tuol Sleng (selon certaines estimations le nombre serait aussi élevé que 20.000, bien que le nombre réel est inconnu). À tout moment, il se trouvait dans la prison entre 1 000-1 500 prisonniers. Ils ont été torturés à plusieurs reprises et contraints de nommer des membres de leur famille et de leurs proches collaborateurs, qui ont été à leur tour arrêtés, torturés et tués. Dans les premiers mois de l’ouverture de S-21, la plupart des victimes étaient de l'ancien régime de Lon Nol et incluait des soldats, des responsables gouvernementaux, ainsi que des universitaires, médecins, enseignants, étudiants, ouvriers, moines, ingénieurs, etc. Ultérieurement, la paranoïa de la direction du parti se tourna contre ses propres rangs et des purges dans tout le pays ont amené des milliers de militants du parti et leur famille à Tuol Sleng et il furent par la suite assassinés. Parmi les personnes arrêtées figuraient même les plus élevés politiciens de la hiérarchie communiste comme Khoy Thun, Vorn Vet et Nim Hu. Bien que la raison officielle de leur arrestation fût «espionnage», ces hommes peuvent avoir été vu par le chef des Khmers rouges, Pol Pot, comme dirigeants potentiels d'un coup d'Etat contre lui. Les familles des prisonniers ont souvent été regroupées en masse pour y être interrogées et, plus tard, assassinées au centre d'extermination Choeung Ek (Champ d’extermination) .
Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum - The Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum is a museum in Phnom Penh, the capital of Cambodia. The site is a former high school which was used as the notorious Security Prison 21 (S-21) by the Khmer Rouge regime from its rise to power in 1975 to its fall in 1979. Tuol Sleng means "Hill of the Poisonous Trees" or "Strychnine Hill". On the 17 000 to 20 000 prisonners of Tuol Sleng, no one has ever escaped. At the liberation, there were only 7 survivors. From 1975 to 1979, an estimated 17,000 people were imprisoned at Tuol Sleng (some estimates suggest a number as high as 20,000, although the real number is unknown). At any one time, the prison held between 1,000-1,500 prisoners. They were repeatedly tortured and coerced into naming family members and close associates, who were in turn arrested, tortured and killed. In the early months of S-21's existence, most of the victims were from the previous Lon Nol regime and included soldiers, government officials, as well as academics, doctors, teachers, students, factory workers, monks, engineers, etc. Later, the party leadership's paranoia turned on its own ranks and purges throughout the country saw thousands of party activists and their families brought to Tuol Sleng and murdered. Those arrested included some of the highest ranking communist politicians such as Khoy Thoun, Vorn Vet and Hu Nim. Although the official reason for their arrest was "espionage", these men may have been viewed by Khmer Rouge leader Pol Pot as potential leaders of a coup against him. Prisoners' families were often brought en masse to be interrogated and later murdered at the Choeung Ek extermination center (Killing fields).

I was reading a Fish & Game publication on wild turkey hunting when I was assaulted by this sentence fragment. Rather than fix it (i.e., turn the period into a comma), I tried to IMPROVE it.
Jellyfish Baby got in trouble and had to write sentences for hiding in my sweater pocket after I thought I lost him.

I've been stalking the birds in my neighborhood (yeah, I know that sentence will make my British friends snicker...) trying to get shots of the red-tailed hawks that land on a tree near where I live. So far, the results have been mixed (you can see a list of links to others at the bottom of this description.) I did one a year or so ago that was shockingly good (for me, at least) and was purchased for use by the Washington State tourism board. I never thought I'd be able to top that previous pic, but I think this one does it.
This tree stands in a wide open field and the hawks perch here to watch for snakes and mice. To get a good shot, I have to walk very quietly across the field and hope not to be seen. These birds are very nervous about people and take flight at the first sign of humans. Usually, that's a bad thing and I end up with blurred shots of the bird flying away.
Today, I was sneaking up on this guy and when I raised my camera, he noticed me and started to take off. That's the moment I caught him and what you're looking at in this picture. This is literally a split second before he jumped off the branch and sailed away.
